"HIS OSCAR IS COMING": Netizens react as Tom Holland reportedly to star as the lead role in Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ 

Tom Holland is said to be starring in Christopher Nolan's version of The Odyssey, one of Hollywood's most ambitious undertakings to date. According to rumors, the movie, which is based on Homer's epic Greek poetry, will star Holland as Odysseus and an A-list ensemble that includes Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon, Lupita Nyong'o, and Robert Pattinson.

Fans are thrilled with the casting, but there are differing views, which leads to amusing online replies. Following the casting news, one fan ecstatically exclaimed,

"HIS OSCAR IS COMING OUUUU,"

Although Tom Holland's depiction of Spider-Man has contributed significantly to his meteoric rise in Hollywood, this new project could be a step into uncharted territory for him. It is a far cry from his web-slinging days to portray Odysseus as a war hero who endures years of adversity on his way home. The internet had a lot to say, as was to be anticipated.
